Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Laikals The greatest movie ever made..!

Supelice Dreadfully Boring

ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

Rainey Dawn The acting, cinematography, music, sets & costuming etc... are fantastic. The story is a bit slow but it is worth watching. What bothered me was that ending - all I can say is "You found what you were looking for on both sides of the ocean... now go back to him!" Or either that it would have been nice if she had a child by him in the very end - it ended wrong.I won't say who is the man is that cried nor will I tell you why he cried. The story is a heart-breaker from start to finish for the most part. There are a couple of funny scenes to relieve some of the building tension but in the end the film is overall a tear jerker.A romantic film for those that are interested. A MUST SEE for Johnny Depp fans. I would have rated the film higher if the ending was what I was hoping for Suzie and Cesar.8.5/10

lollyrodgoth man this move was bad and slow . i was every disappointed.acting was good but the story was bad.i had high hopes for this movie.no wonder it took me 12 years to watch it. sad panda......it could have been grate....but it was not the only good thing about this movie was Depp and Christina Ricci it was pretty to look at but i was bored out of my mind...and i love history type movies the ending was lame to i hate when movie's end leaving you wonder so much all that time watching the characters boring life's unfold to have no real development and no real purpose to the movie at all there was nothing i learned or gained ....lame

Quebec_Dragon First of all, try to avoid the trailer before watching the movie if you can. The Man Who Cried is about a young Jewish girl living in Russia in the late twenties who has to flee her home country and eventually ends up in Paris as a young adult just before the onset of World War II. She gets involved with a cabaret showgirl played by Cate Blanchett, an Italian opera singer played by John Turturro and a gypsy man played by Johnny Depp. I found the movie slow-moving but not boring. It had a certain melancholy to it where almost everything was restrained and understated. There are dramatic moments but no big melodrama which honestly I kinda missed. I wasn't particularly touched nor did I cry or even get teary-eyed. Your own mileage might vary, but I don't think it's a big tear-jerker.There's a lot of music (mostly opera but not usually the bombastic cliché kind) in this film with two important recurring songs. They're quite beautiful especially the french song "Je crois entendre encore" which weirdly I didn't recognize as French despite it being my native language. The songs are important because they often convey the emotions felt instead of words. It doesn't really matter that you don't understand the words. As an historical drama, it mostly skirts big events, mostly focusing on their effects on our characters from different nationalities. You need some minimal historical background to get what is happening. The whole first part with the exile of the little girl was pretty gripping. She seemed so small and vulnerable. The romantic aspect was two-fold. The relationship between Cate Blanchett and John Turturro's characters was very interesting but not romantic. The relationship between Christina Ricci and Johnny Depp's characters was less interesting but more romantic.Johnny Depp doesn't say much but his presence is felt. He was born to play sexy gypsy men and I suspect most women will "swoon" over him ;) The other performances were fine with the stand-out being Cate Blanchett as a somewhat superficial Russian dancer trying to marry into richness. The songs were mostly lip-synched. I think they were done very well but still it disturbed somewhat my suspension of disbelief. In conclusion, I liked watching it, it was well made with strong actors but the story could have been told a little better to engage the viewer more emotionally. It didn't strike me as particularly memorable or as the highlight of any of these actor's resumes.Rating: 6.5 out of 10 (good)

Bob-2544 Sally Potter's work, The Man Who Cried, is a beautiful abstract film with sparse dialog. This puts many viewers off, accustomed as we are to wordy cinema, but Ms. Potter carries it off with aplomb, setting a series of beautiful, emotionally expressive tableaux before our eyes. I especially liked the development of the character of the child in the Russian scenes. When she appears, Ms. Ricci's face and demeanor is convincingly that of the girl now grown up. As for Mr. Depp, his role is that of a romantic icon, and he serves well. This is the kind of film to be watched on a quiet day, when you have time to kick back an just let it flow over you. Don't rent it to watch with friends. It's not a sociable movie.
